  LPS-11699	Unable to add liferay as a search provider
  LPS-4790	"Add Liferay as Search Provider" is hardcoded to "localhost"
  LPS-10855	Search Portlet "Add Liferay as a search provider" feature
  LPS-13269	JCR Hook produces error
  LPS-24364	Adding Social Networking portlets in Geronimo produces errors

Steps to reproduce:

(1) Place Search portlet on a page
(2) Go to configuration, check Display Open Search Results, hit Save
(3) Close popup, search for some test, e.g. test
(4) scroll down to Open Search section
(5) hit Add Liferay as a Search Provider button

Result:
JavaScript error is raised saying Error: Permission denied for <http://localhost:8080> to call method Sidebar.AddSearchProvider, see screenshot, nothing happens.

Problem seems to be caused by the call in <portlet:namespace />addSearchProvider() in /html/portlet/search/search.jsp:192:

Liferay.provide(
    window,
    '<portlet:namespace />addSearchProvider',
    function() {
        window.external.AddSearchProvider("<%= themeDisplay.getPortalURL() %><%= PortalUtil.getPathMain() %>/search/open_search_description.xml?p_l_id=<%= themeDisplay.getPlid() %>&groupId=<%= groupId %>");
    },
    ['aui-base']
);
